Nature

by Rima - Leo

An old man sits
in the park
feeding the pigeons
They gather to him
just as maggots gather
to the rotting flesh
of something dead
or like people
who gather to you
when you have something
they need
or want

In the end, nature
takes it's course

When the food runs out,
the pigeons fly away
When the flesh is gone,
so are the maggots
And when you have nothing
left to offer,
you sit silently
by yourself

Reason for writing:

    Being used one too many times!!
